Benjamin Netanyahu tells Jews in France they are welcome in Israel

ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday told Jews in France that Israel is their home and his government wants them to immigrate.

Mr Netanyahu was to join Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, dozens of world leaders and millions people in a march through Paris last night in a show of support for France after the slaughter of 17 people in ­Islamist attacks last week.

Hamas condemned the attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo while rejecting Mr Netan­yahu’s comments comparing it to the Islamic group firing rockets from the Gaza Strip at civilians in Israel. “Hamas condemns the desperate attempts by ... Netanyahu to make a connection between our movement and the resistance of our people on the one hand and global terrorism on the other,” it said.

“Hamas condemns the attack against Charlie Hebdo magazine and insists on the fact that differences of opinion and thought cannot justify murder.”

Much safer here I would imagine. Nobody trying to push you into the sea here, for one thing. Our pizza parlors are generally safe too. Here they try for wall street or the pentagon. On the other hand, damn few olive trees to cut down here too, pretty boring.


I was just going to say "Stay Classy" to Bibi for not being able to wait until the dust settled before making his pitch.

A new personality
A brain transplant
A (working) ethical make up
A dose of empathy.

Currently, if he spots any of these approaching him down the sidewalk, he will cross the street to avoid them.

This pitch has been going on for at least a year or so. The attacks probably prove his point in his mind.
